For RMOTHG members only.  This is a short but high altitude trip so please make sure you are in appropriate physical condition for it.  The snowshoe starts at an elevation of 10,500 feet and gains approx 850 feet in two miles.  We snowshoe through Deer Creek Valley to an open area with spectacular views of Teller Mountain to the left and Glacier Mountain to the right.  On the return, we may glimpse Grays and Torreys Peaks to the northeast.

I will send out an email the day before the trip with weather forecast, equipment needs, etc.

Please advise the leader of any medical conditions you have prior to the day of the trip!
